Jake Jones was never supposed to be a problem.
He was easy. Familiar. Safe in the way people become when they've known you long enough to see you at your worst and stay anyway.
We were never messy. Never complicated.
And then, one night, we were.
It wasn't planned. It wasn't something we talked about or led up to. It just... happened. Like a line we didn't see until we crossed it.
Graduation was supposed to be an ending. A clean break. A way out.
I took mine.
A different country. Different streets. A version of myself I kept trying on like clothes that never quite fit. I told myself I just needed distance. Space. A chance to figure out who I was without everything-everyone-pressing in on me.
It didn't work.
Because no matter how far I went, the same things followed.
The noise in my head.
The feeling that something in me was missing-or wrong.
The quiet, constant unraveling I couldn't seem to stop.
And Jake-
Jake stayed exactly where I left him. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe he just sank deeper into everything he never let anyone see. Into the kind of silence that looks like anger. Into nights that blur together. Into things that make forgetting easier and everything else worse.
We were both breaking.
Just in different places.
In different ways.
And somehow, no matter the distance, no matter how much we tried to outrun it-
we kept finding each other.

Saints & Scars | Ongoing
"My brother's going to kill us if he finds you with me." Saint's expression didn't change. "I know." "So why do you keep showing up?" I ask, sighing. His eyes found mine. "Because you're here." ✦ ✦ ✦ Eleanor Hayes has known exactly who she wanted to be since she was little: a surgeon. Growing up with one of New York City's most respected surgeons as a father made the dream feel less like a possibility and more like destiny. Saint Huxley is the kind of name people at Crestwood Academy know long before they ever meet him. As the son of the man behind one of the world's largest private banking empires, he should have been polished, disciplined, and respectable. Instead, Saint is reckless, volatile, and impossible to ignore. By day, he's the boy teachers keep an eye on and students know better than to provoke. By night, he disappears into the city's underground, stepping into illegal boxing rings where bruises heal faster than reputations. Eleanor has spent years staying as far away from Saint Huxley as possible. His reputation alone is reason enough, but the fact that he and her older brother, Rafe, can barely stand to be in the same room only reinforces the rule. The problem is that the line between hate and something else is a lot thinner than Eleanor ever expected.Complete

Heir to nothing
After one devastating mistake, Anastasia Miller is expelled from her old school - a decision that still haunts her. Now forced to start over at the elite, twisted Ravenscroft Academy, she's determined to keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and avoid any distractions - especially the romantic kind. Celibate, silent, and set on survival. That was the plan. Strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and dead set on staying under the radar, Anastasia has no interest in making friends - or enemies. That all crashes when her path crosses with Noah Kingsley - the school's too-good-looking-for-his-own-good soccer captain. Cold, rude, and arrogant, he checks off every trait on her stay-the-hell-away list. So when he accidentally hits her in the head with a soccer ball, Anastasia doesn't just let it slide - she shoves a dead rat into his locker and calls it fair game. Because if he wants to act like an asshole, she's not afraid to match the energy. What starts as petty revenge turns into tension, banter, and something neither of them is ready for. But in a school where appearances are everything and everyone is hiding something, Anastasia's past is a ticking time bomb - and it's only a matter of time before it all explodes. Because at Ravenscroft, the pretty ones are damaged, the rich ones are ruthless, and even the deepest secrets don't stay buried forever.Complete
